I wonder if this means Bobby lived longer in the 2014 universe than this one.
Helping the boys. Always helping the boys. Everyone dies helping them or fighting them. Does no one die doing their own shit? Okay, not on their show. But still. Way to go to make them feel ultra toxic.
I wonder how long this will take to hit fic properly. Not just reaction codas, but day forward fic in which the guys don't take over from a living Bobby, or inherit his (standing) house, or send newly human Cas to live with Bobby while he gets a handle on mortality (whoa, two denials for the price of one). Or have them move in with him after they retire and set up a camp for baby hunters.
You know, stuff like that. He was supposed to be there for a little while longer.
Don't hit me, but I wanted him dead on the show. I wanted the boys to mourn him, I wanted them to be isolated, and to not be able to call anyone (or pray to anyone) for extra help, but to be two lone wolves operating mostly outside of whatever loose-knit "community" the hunters have.
I love them, but I want that pain and loneliness for them for a little.
Problem is, it makes it harder for me to imagine what I want for them in the end. Because living a town over from Bobby would have been great (in the same house, although they can date they can't live apart. Cas can move in to Dean's bedroom if he wants).
Okay, clearly I have no idea what I want from this show. Maybe this would make more sense if my head didn't hurt.
Still, stupid sexist racist show, so focussed on killing off the PoCs and the women. Bastards.
Hey, watch Bobby be back in January, if not revived (by Gabriel, who's just been playing dead this whole time), then as Casper the friendly ghost who poltergeists around them and helps them on cases by talking the other ghosts down.
THAT WOULD ROCK.
